Hey,
I just installed a 7300BTU Simplicity Room Air Conditioner and upon the
installation, I was unable to provide the 1/4" tilt backwards for
drainage.
Because my apartment is part of an older "Victorian" type house, the
window
is huge and pretty much forces the unit to stay level when I lock it in
place. I've tried many ways to allow the tilt, but it just isn't going to
happen. Alot of people said that new ACs are designed not to drain but to
use the condensation to cool the unit, though my unit has the hole in the
back and the manual specifies to tilt it back.
I'm not interested in having mildew build-up and odors in my AC.
Any ideas on what I could do?

Thanks!

A package of door shims from the local hardware store will solve the issue.
